An English singer, best known for her sometimes quirky, early 1960s influenced pop music songs, and her (former) trademark beehive hairdo.Produced by Tot Taylor's Compact label she enjoyed six chart hits in the UK in the early 1980s, including her biggest hit, the #8 chart hit "Just What I Always Wanted", performed with jazz bands, and sang the theme-song to the TV sitcom Coupling, "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" and contributed the song "Cry me a River" to the crime drama series McCallum. In 1985 she performed the song "Dance with a Stranger" for the film of the same name and turned her career towards live performances.

In 1992 the album "The Rhythm Romance" which combined classic Jazz standards with 60s songs and original material did not find the success critics said it deserved as the record company did not have sufficient funds to promote it.
